We have worked with Graham on multiple mortgages now and he is always extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He has secured us fantastic mortgage deals time and time again. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

This is my second time using Lock & Key Mortgages, I have been so impressed with Graham that I wouldn't go anywhere else, and happily recommend him to everyone I know. From the minute you make contact, Graham is friendly, professional, explains things in a simple (as I know nothing about the mortgages!) but knowledgeable way and does everything possible to get you a good mortgage deal. His communication is brilliant and I genuinely couldn't praise him and his service enough.

We are lucky enough to have known Graham since 2016 when we bought our first house. He has already seen us through two house purchases and two remortgages, and we are now in the process of our third house purchase with the company’s help and guidance. Throughout every process he has been so helpful, offered us great advice and answered my many, many questions very promptly! I wouldn’t consider anyone other than Lock and Key Mortgages for any future moves and we recommend them to anyone who will listen! While the process of moving house can be stressful, we are lucky to have found such a great mortgage advisor to make the process so much easier!

Renewing our mortgage with Graham was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He made what could have been a stressful process feel effortless, guiding us through every step with clarity and confidence. Graham’s ability to explain complex details in a way that was easy to understand gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor - Thanks Graham!

Graham and kristie have been absolutely amazing in our mortgage journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better service from people who seem to genuinely care and want to help. The process has been made so easy and Graham couldn’t be more responsive - answering our calls whenever we needed him even if it was not in office hours and getting back to us as soon as he could. I really could not recommend him more and be more thankful for such a great service. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for future remortgaging or help in this area. Time is taken to explain everything in ways that are easy for us to understand and he has made sure to keep both me and my partner in the loop throughout giving us frequent updates and checking in on us.

Amazing service from Graham at Lock and Key. I was passed Graham’s name from a friend who raved about him. I wasn’t sure he would be able to help as we had usual circumstances - only needed a mortgage for 11 months and were uncertain about our options. I was reassured straight away from Graham that he understood and there were products out there we would benefit from financially. 3 days later and it’s pretty much all done. Graham had applied and got things underway immediately to make sure we got the best deal before there were any changes. We are so grateful and appreciative. Also communication has been fantastic. Thank you Graham.

Graham and the team are brilliant. As a first-time buyer I had no idea how the mortgage process works and was recommended Lock and Key Mortgages. They didn't only get me the best rate on the market (that I couldn't find myself) but also effectively managed the whole process from start to finish being the lynchpin between solicitors & estate agent.

Superb and would recommend!

I have dreamed of this moment for years and with Graham’s pure dedication and patience we have received the paperwork!!

We went to Graham to help us buy our first home and he has been amazing. The best decision we made during our buying process was choosing him! He made us feel so comfortable and made everything clear. We have been able to ask him questions whenever we need and he gets back to us so quickly, couldn’t recommend him enough!!

I cannot recommend Graham highly enough. He has been managing our mortgage for the past 15 years, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. He is always willing to answer all our questions, regardless of whether they are big, small, or seemingly silly. Over the years, he has provided us with excellent advice and genuinely cares about securing the best deal for us.

He is always available on the phone or WhatsApp and responds promptly, even while on his holidays.

I have recommended Graham to many of my friends and family members, and they all echo our sentiments: he is truly a genuinely lovely person.

Graham has been utterly amazing from start to finish! He guided us through our mortgage process with so much patience, professionalism and support, we are so grateful for all his help and guidance.
He is approachable, no question or query was too much. He will come very highly recommended to anyone in need of a mortgage or any advice. Thank you Graham and Lock & Key - your service is truly second to none!

It’s been a faultless experience finding a mortgage for my next house with Graham at Lock and Key Mortgages. From the start, he was professional, approachable, and genuinely took the time to understand my needs. He walked me through every step of the mortgage process, answered all my questions, and provided clear, straightforward advice. What impressed me most was his dedication to finding the best deal for me, and he made sure I felt confident and informed throughout. I couldn't have asked for better service and will definitely be recommending him to family and friends. Thank you, Graham, for making this process so much easier!

Have used Graham at lock and key for a few mortgages now, really helpful and thorough. Great at explaining different things for us to understand and always really accommodating. We wouldn’t use anyone else.

We highly recommend Graham at Lock and Key Mortgages. We've used Graham for almost 10 years, across a couple of house moves and re-mortgages and cannot fault his service. He is thorough and explains everything really well (to us as non finance-y people!), and always looks out the best options for us.
Thanks Graham, we will definitely be back at mortgage renewal time!

I have been a client of Graham's for years and he is always super helpful and proactive. He recently sorted our remortgage out for us and we're really grateful of Graham's excellent service once again. Thanks Graham!

Graham has been excellent. As first time buyers, my partner and I started shopping around for rates from both fee-charging and fee-free mortgage brokers. We were recommended Graham by a family member and were immediately impressed with both his knowledge and friendliness. He not only generated us the best rates as a fee-free broker, but has gone above and beyond in explaining/facilitating the house buying process (e.g solicitors, surveyors etc).

Thoroughly recommend Lock and Key Mortgages and will no doubt be getting in contact when it comes to remortgaging!

Graham has been an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. All of my friends had used him as their broker & highly recommended Graham to me, so we decided to use him as ours this time for our move.
From thousands of questions which never seemed to bother him, to changing our mortgage lender/rate god knows how many times, we cannot fault any of his work.
Thank you so much Graham for all of your help, you’ve been absolutely fab. We will definitely be using you in 2 years again!
